Patient Comfort

Dr. Lehman prides himself on making your dental experience as pleasant and as comfortable as possible. Fear of the unknown is very powerful. Educating patients about their treatment beforehand is the best way to make them feel the most comfortable. Dr. Lehman and his staff thoroughly explain their treatment philosophy and procedures. If you have any questions before or during the procedure, we will carefully reexplain and won't begin again until you feel fully confident. Building trust reduces fear and affords a pleasant dental experience.

We use the latest techniques to reduce dental discomfort during our procedures. These modalities include using the best topical lidocaine gel to prenumb the gum before administering the liquid lidocaine anesthetic thus making the injection painless. We also use "The Wand", which is a lidocaine pump. It replaces the traditional shot with a painless injection controlled by a pressure sensitive computer for maximum comfort. The patients love "the wand" and ask for it by name. These options are discussed with our patients during the treatment planning consultation.

We always have TV overhead of the patient during treatment. We have TV, magazines, music for adults, and toys for children in the reception room to help make your stay more pleasant. We also offer our Walkman and encourage you to bring music of your choice to facilitate your relaxation.
